For example, in my household, tools etc live in one place next to the bikes as do lights; spare bits in another place, shoes in another, helmets, gloves, overshoes, waterproofs and windproofs in another,  winter clothing in another and summer in another, – you get the idea.  The principle (if there is one) is to get dressed in one place and head towards the bike, gathering the necessary as you go.  

Bottles and food bits live somewhere else again.

Not quite sure what problem you are trying to solve.

Absolutely this.  I went over to your questionnaire and then found I could not work out how to answer because different bits of kit live in different places.  Each of these categories for me would be put in a different location, depending on where I would first want to interact with the item.

• Clothes/chamois creme
• Nutrition/bidons
• Bike spares/maintenance stuff/tools
• Final grab items (shoes, overshoes, helmet, glasses, gloves, computer)
• Bike

As it happens, with each of these, I have found a basic, but highly effective solution (often no more sophisticated than a cardboard box on a shelf).

Happy to complete the questionnaire if you tell me which of the above storage categories you are referring to (or give me the ability to add this additional colour).

But nniff’s question is key: what is the problem you are trying to solve?  And why are the existing solutions flawed?

Are you seriously stumped by the questions? Lol.
Edit: post up the really, really, really difficult question and I’ll see if I can give you a hand.

mine goes wherever I feel

mine goes wherever I feel like leaving it though I have a spare bedroom (okay two) for most of my bikes and spare wheels/other larger components/frames, did I mention wheels! Have a large shelving system in the utility room for spares/maintenance/cleaning stuff and the spare tool box (for tools not used much) plus a big 4 drawer chest full of components and various cycle related crap, oh and the old metal filing cabinet for smaller stuff (in the downstairs loo, doesn’t everyone!) Main toolbox sits in the dining room usually open on top of a chest with various bits strewn everywhere.

Clothing simply goes into the walk in wardrobe and shoes tend to stay in the cupboard by the hallway along with gloves and waterproof spare pannier bags.

If I have a quick tidy you’d hardly notice I was addicted to bikes/cycling

Sorry, but that questionnaire is just too boring to fill out.

Why don’t you post a picture of your solution and we can give some feedback?

This is for my final exam project, I have to gather information of my target audience so that I’m able to create an appropriate product, the survey only takes 5 mins and helps me out a ton! 

cheers.

Sorry, I thought you were a marketeer for a company. I’ve filled in your questionnaire now (only took a minute).

Couple of minutes and done.

Questions could do with being less leading.
Containers don’t have to be messy, for example. I’d also put a few more details of who you are and why your first post is market research.
